I don't think that is going to work, either (at least, it didn't for me in firebug). You're probably expecting the character set, [^-->], to negate the string "-->", but it doesn't work that way. Instead, it negates "-" and ">".
The expression you had would eat everything between the first "<!--" and the last "-->". There's probably a more elegant way to do it, but I can't help any further.
It'll eat the first "<!--" and the last "-->", along with everything in between. ;)
This should work: scrubbed = code.html().replace(/<!--.*?-->/gi,""); It might be kind of slow if you throw a ton of html at it. --Karl ____________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com
